Disney Springs dining shines with the Braised Beef Sandwich Homecomin’. Tender braised beef, horseradish cream, and Cuban bread await. We review this limited-time menu item at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’.
During a recent visit to Disney Springs, we had the chance to try the limited-time Braised Beef Sandwich Homecomin’ at Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, and it left a memorable impression. While currently a seasonal menu item, we suspect it may eventually become a permanent offering. However, we have no inside information about that – it is just an educated guess. Priced at $24, with annual passholder and military discounts available, the sandwich comes with Chef Art Smith’s signature house-made barbecue chips drizzled with icebox dressing.
Braised Beef Sandwich Homecomin’ Menu Decription
The description of this sandwich promises: “Tender braised beef teams up with a horseradish cream sauce, balsamic-tossed arugula and watercress, roasted red peppers, and swiss cheese between two pieces of Cuban bread.” On our first tasting during an AttractionsMagazine.com event, and again for this Disney Springs dining review, it delivered a unique flavor profile.
The braised beef is tender and rich, perfectly paired with the subtle heat of the horseradish cream sauce. The balsamic-tossed arugula and watercress add freshness, while roasted red peppers provide a hint of sweetness that balances the savory notes. Swiss cheese contributes creaminess, although the beef and other components tend to overshadow it. The Cuban bread is denser than standard sandwich bread, which may feel slightly tough to some, but it’s necessary to support the generous filling.
It’s worth noting that the Braised Beef Sandwich Homecomin’ can get a bit messy. The fork and knife technique might be needed as you dig in. However, the portion size is consistent with other entrees at Homecomin’, so the messy factor is minor in the grand scheme. The house-made barbecue chips drizzled with icebox dressing are a standout side, providing crunch and also tang that complement the sandwich without overpowering it.
